“Our team pulled together and did a great job against the University of Arizona,” said second-year head coach Sara Lowe. “We have changed personnel throughout the past two weeks and increased the difficulty of the routines.

In the duet, Hansley and sophomore Evelyna Wang scored an 83.200 to take first in the event. Tashima and Park finished second with an 82.633.
